Fall Selection 2019 information is available on the Housing Portal starting February 5, 2019.

To access the Housing Portal, login to HomerConnect. On the Housing Portal you can: view available housing for 2019-2020, practice room selection, and create/manage roommate/apartment-mate groups.

General Housing Information

• You can create and manage groups to prepare for selection as a group in an apartment. Only the group leader may log in during your selection window to choose housing (see dates and times below).
• Interested in living in a Residential Learning Community (RLC)? Complete a short application on the Housing Portal via HomerConnect for each community that interests you. RLC applications are available beginning February 5, 2019, and are due by Friday, March 8, 2019.
• Once you select housing, you will not be able to request a change to your housing assignment for the Fall 2019 semester until summer wait list applications become available on April 1, 2019.
• If you are a rising senior (completed 5 semesters or more after the Fall 2018 semester) and wish to live on campus you should select housing during your designated time. If you wish to live off-campus, do not select housing.
• If you completed less than 5 semesters and have been approved for off-campus, you will not have access to select housing. If you plan to live on-campus and would like to decline your off-campus approval, log onto IC workflow prior to housing selection.
• Specific housing information is available on the Office of Residential life website. If you have any questions please call us at 607-274-3141 or email us at housing@ithaca.edu.
• Interested in living off-campus? Rising juniors may apply through the Residential Life website. The off campus target has been met and there is a waitlist so off-campus approval is not guaranteed. Rising seniors are exempt and do not need to apply.
